                          The day I got my sitar firstly...                 I had been playing violin since grade 6. I faced to A/Ls with violin also. After the A/Ls I turned into sitar by becoming my main instrument. It is also a marvelous instrument that I have seen.                       It was the present of my 20th birthday. My mother and father surprised me. Obviously, tears welled up in my eyes because I couldn't bear that happiness. Then I went closer to a famous sitarist to learn it. Also, I'm still learning. Nowadays, I am studying as an undergraduate at UVPA, there I'm following the sitar.     

                                                       My Pet Cats                    I really love cats. So, I have 5 cats by now. Among them, three are cats and the other two are kittens. They are very lovely, friendly and active. They always whisper by sounding as ''purr purr''. And also they often wrap around my legs. In fact, I see them as little angels. They can give pleasure to me by their mischievous activities. I also play with them.                    They love to sleep together. My cat friends prefer to eat fish. My mother prepares a special meal for them by adding boiled fish. They are lazy to bathe. They are used to drinking milk in the morning also. They don't like to eat rice much. When I open a packet of biscuits, all of them run towar...

                             Trip of Kandy                    It was another wonderful and joyful journey for me. I and my crazy friends of my class visited to Kandy last week. My mother also joined. We traveled by train. We could catch the train which leaves at 6.00 a.m. from The Veyangoda Railway Station. My friend Dhananjaya took a drum and Pramith brought a guitar. We gathered to a corner and sang songs with clapping. We had our breakfast inside the train.                    By about 7.30 a.m. we could step down from the train. Firstly, we visited to see the Temple of the Tooth which has been respected among the Buddhists. We worshiped with lotus flowers. Then we got photographs also. Next, we took a bus to go to the Botanical Garden of Peradeniya. Then we walked together saying memories of school life, funny s...

                                    A/L days Of My School Life...                 Those days are wonderful days of my life. Obviously, A/L is a turning point for any student. It will decide the future career of one's.              For me, I learned well and I joined extracurricular activities also. Therefore I could collect wonderful memories for my memory book. I joined the school orchestra and I played Violin. I met a lot of friends there and we practiced together happily. We won by competitions also.  That was a great   opportunity to give pride to my school. I attended to the students' parliament of school. I was a Deputy Minister of it. I joined the western girls' band also. I played bass drum in there. However, I had to hear complaints from my teachers because I wasn't in the classroom at all times. 😆😅...

                                                                   Shopping              I prefer to try new fashionable dresses. So, I  really love shopping. It has become the major thing that I do in my leisure time. As soon as I get some money, I collect them and I go for shopping. Usually, I join my mother or my friend to that journey. My mother is a good selector. I don't miss her, and I need her support.                  I always choose my clothes so that suit me. Normally, I like to wear trousers with tops, T-shirts, and blouses. Similarly, I like to wear frocks, among frocks, I prefer long dresses because I'm a tall girl. So, long dresses are more suitable for me than short dresses. Especially, I choose dark coloured costumes be...

                 If I have a chance to summit space...                  I  really love to study Astronautics. And also, I am passionate about expeditions. I have read a lot of books on this stream such as '' Failure is not an option'' by Gene Kranz, ''Astronautics '' by Ulrich Walter, '' The Right Stuff '' by Tom Wolfe. If  I have a chance to summit space... I don't know how it will feel to me. It will be a great  opportunity and a glorious journey.                        It will be a great and tough task. There are so many tough challenges because we have to face to limited equipment such as water, air, food, etc. Similarly, we have to wear a special kit for surviving. Otherwise, we will die. We should do trials and complete acclimatization rounds. It will help to adjust to that environment. We have to maintain bo...

                                     A painful memory...                 I told you previously that my uncle had to face Corona. As a result of that, I also had Corona. I and my uncle had gone together by his car before a week ago. I think that was the reason for getting me Corona.               Firstly, I would like to explain the symptoms which I got. Firstly, I got sick and cough. But I didn't even think that was Corona. I had also a sore throat on next day. I felt tiredness also. As my mother couldn't look at my illness, she took me to meet a doctor. He gave me some medicine and he told me to get a PCR test. I was very scared by hearing those words, but there's nothing to do. I tested. Unfortunately, it was positive. In fact, I fell down mentally.          ...
